I'm all for that Ali.

583 would be the option for an extra race for me, as I have a place in 620.

Numbers are a bit shy in 583 so it can't hurt to boost the numbers?

1st choice...Fully sponsored ride in 620
2nd choice...674 fettled to compete in 620
3rd choice...1st choice and 674 sleeved down in 583.

It's going to be a long winter....lucky we have a race before then...

:(:(:(:(:(:(
One day maybe...

If you want an extra race in order to progress quicker - do sound of thunder on your 620 or 583.

That way you only need 1 bike, and you won't upset anyone in the 'other' DD class.

Sometimes biting off more than you can chew can lead to doing half a season in 2 classes, rather than a full season in one.

I don't mind what anyone does, I know that when I get my form back and I'm on equal machinery, I'm as fast as anyone. I just think this could be detremental to the series in the long run.

You must appreciate that your decision to do both classes is likely to impact on the small budget, slower riders, who instead of going up the results, are likely to suffer due to people with deep pockets buying up grid space in every class - just because they can.

You spend every spare penny you have getting to the grid with a 583, it's a real struggle, but you know that now the grid is split, you may have a chance of getting that top 10 spot - Only to discover that 10 guys from the 620 class have come in (more than likely for practice) and now you're back in 20th spot again. Before you know it, there will be 20 guys doing both championships and not much else.

One rider, one bike, one series.

Extra races/practice can be had in Sound of Thunder - where you're not gunna impact on anyones season.

Great!!!
- I'll get the 620 and buy a 583 for the two DD classes,
- I'll run the 996R in the SoT
- get a Honda Hornet for that class,
- a couple of 2 strokes to cover the 125, and 250gp classes,
- buy the ZX10R back for Pro Bike activity,
- and I'l stick a broom up me ar55e and sweep the paddock too!!! ;)

I was thinking of a SV650 for Minitwins, but don't want to tire myself out!!! ;)

I'll help with the broom :devil:

You'd probably drop that too!!! ;)

Bastid ;)

I like the new caring Dom,especially when hes the first to offer help to a fellow member!:lol:

yeah! Wot he sez :P
There's only a couple more needed for a 583 grid (whatever that means, I still haven't had any confirmation about whats happening next year?) and I dunno who's in, but if any newbies wanting to do 583 racing lose out cos you "big" boys want to double up then I think you deserve something akin to the "trophy hunting" cat calls we had at the start of this year from one or two of you who may be in favour of doing "the double"!
So there :P :devil: :P

Before you lot go off on one, perhaps you should wait until the 2nd draft of the rules come out, tail end of this week and we have had our meeting with New Era in November regarding grids for the series next year.

As Psychlist has said above we need a few more in the 583 grid to firm that up, 620 class is already over minimum level.
